Tian Du City.
Sword Card Master Association.
Lu Ming patrolled the various departments.
"Look."
There were so many departments and branches. There were many old and new grudges. There must be many irreconcilable conflicts. At this time, he, the president, had to step in!
However …
It was a pity.
Lu Ming patrolled the entire day. The association was harmonious and orderly …
Conflicts?
No way.
The new disciples were well-behaved and obedient …
Not to mention troublemakers, there were only a few of them every day!
？？？
Lu Ming was filled with doubts.
This was not scientific!
The rapid expansion brought about serious management problems … Why didn't the Sword Card Master Association have any problems?! Where were the geniuses and troublemakers of the various associations?!
Lu Ming investigated and soon got the results.
This was what happened.
Li Haoran had also considered this problem. Therefore, a few of the department heads discussed and the higher-ups formulated a series of new rules!
The association decided to adopt a points system.
Any violation of the rules would result in a deduction of points. Once the deduction of points exceeded a certain amount, the association would be disqualified from allocating spirit bodies …
And this …
This was the last safeguard for all the new Sword Card Master disciples!
After all …
The probability of awakening the spirit body was only 5%!
Therefore …
The disciples were very obedient at this time.
"…"
Lu Ming was silent after reading the investigation data.
"Look."
Xiao-Xiaojian heaved continuous sighs. "The association can't operate as fast as you. Come, let's focus on reproduction … It's only a matter of time before we break through to seven-star! "
"…"
Lu Ming rolled his eyes.
He did not believe that there were no problems with the association at all.
Hence …
He continued to patrol.
Finance?
With Zhao Yunshan around, it was difficult for there to be any problems.
Experiments?
With Xiao Bai around, it was unlikely that there would be any problems.
It was better to go to the new department.
Hence …
Lu Ming personally made a trip to all the newly established departments.
Well …
"Hello, president."
The disciples of the department greeted him.
"Humph!"
Lu Ming snorted coldly, trying to create a tense atmosphere.
"Wow … so handsome!"
"As expected of the guild leader!"
"Boohoo … I really want to get beaten up by the president."
The disciples exclaimed.
Lu Ming:???
Wait a minute!
Did he take the wrong script?
Yes.
Change departments.
Hence …
Lu Ming went to a new department.
"Yes."
Lu Ming nodded slightly. "You must tell me if there are any difficulties."
Don't say it.
A female disciple walked out.
"Guild Leader."
The female disciple lowered her head.
"Speak."
Lu Ming smiled faintly.
"That …"
The female disciple was embarrassed. "Can you give me an autograph?"
"…"
Lu Ming's expression froze.
…
After a long while …
After visiting all the departments, Lu Ming was at a loss.
This feeling of having all the departments in order was really f * cking awesome. As the president, there really wasn't anything that he needed to do …
→_→
Zhou Yun, Li Haoran and the rest had solved almost all the problems.
"…"
Lu Ming sighed. "Am I really useless?"
"Not really."
Xiao-Xiaojian pondered deeply for a moment. "Without you, the entire Sword Card Master Association would be in a state of disunity. These people and departments would not have gathered together. The reason why they are willing to join the Sword Card Master Association is because of your ability and the skills that you have displayed! "
"…"
Lu Ming felt slightly better.
Xiao-Xiaojian …
This guy finally knew how to say something nice.
"Therefore, I just need to maintain my combat ability."
Lu Ming had some understanding.
"Well …"
Xiao-Xiaojian was very certain. "It's best if you live in everyone's heart and hang on the wall."
Lu Ming was speechless.
Damn!
You will tear the roof tiles if I don't beat you up?!
…
Anyway.
Very soon, Lu Ming became very relaxed.
That was right.
Each industry had its own specialization. As the association continued to grow stronger, it was impossible for him to manage the association alone. It was most important to delegate power to other departments.
He only needed to manage the overall situation.
After thinking it through, Lu Ming calmed down.
Hence …
The next day.
Lu Ming's life returned to normal.
…
Early morning.
The sun was shining brightly.
As usual, Xiao Bai came to wake him up.
"Master ~
"Wake up ~"
Xiao Bai's soft voice rang in his ears. It was like a pair of small hands gently brushing past him. The young brother of the Lu family was the first to rise up in revolt …
Lu Ming, → _ →
It was a sin.
It was a sin!
Ever since his sister-in-law had sex in his dreams, it was easy for him to break his vows.
Sigh …
He should not let his thoughts run wild.
Xiao Bai was still young.
No matter how much she liked him, he had to wait for her to grow up.
Hence …
Lu Ming touched her little head.
"Be good.
"Have you completed the experiment?"
Lu Ming got up.
"Not yet."
Xiao Bai shook her head. "It is difficult to replicate the core … Xiao-Xiao-Xiao- Xiao Bai and Xiao-Xiao- Xiao Bai are deducing it. I have some ideas and will complete it as soon as possible."
"Oh?"
Lu Ming exclaimed, "You have some ideas?"
"Yes."
Xiao Bai nodded. "This is the plan. Xiao-Xiao- Xiao Bai and Xiao-Xiao- Xiao Bai will assist Xiao-Xiao- Xiao Bai in giving birth to the Original Card. After that, Xiao-Xiao- Xiao Bai, Xiao-Xiao- Xiao Bai and Xiao-Xiao- Xiao Bai will assist Xiao-Xiao- Xiao Bai in giving birth to the Original Card. They will then assist Xiao-Xiao- Xiao Bai in giving birth to the Original Card …
"In that case …
"The Original Card will be born faster and faster …"
"…"
Lu Ming was dumbstruck.
It was really …
Nesting dolls!
However …
Just as Xiao Bai said, this method would be faster and faster … The first one was the most difficult and it would be easier as it progressed. In the end, it would reach the standard of three thousand Original Cards …
At the thought of it, he felt a little excited.
"However …
"There is a problem."
Xiao Bai said vexedly, "This method will consume a lot of card spirits … If there are three thousand Original Cards, we might really need three thousand card spirits."
Lu Ming was speechless.
Fine.
The Sword Card Master Association had everything except card spirits …
→_→
"Take your time to study it."
Lu Ming patted Xiao Bai's little head.
"Hum!"
Xiao Bai went to prepare breakfast.
After a long time …
After breakfast.
As usual, Lu Ming moved a chair and lay at the entrance of the association.
He was basking in the sun.
After all …
Salted fish had to turn around occasionally.
"That is the president."
"Is the president basking in the sun?"
"What do you know? This is cultivation! Do you remember the Buddha's Descent that the president once cast? Rumor has it that he got inspiration from the sun … "
"Is that true?"
"Of course it's true!"
"I heard that the Sharpshooter Association communicated with the president. Due to the president's guidance, they are now researching a seven-star divine skill …"
"Oh? What divine skill is it? "
"I heard that it is called Backward Sun Shooting … Although the president said it casually, the Sharpshooters seem to be very inspired and are researching it … It is said that this divine skill has the intelligence to shoot the sun!"
"The president is that outstanding!"
"Isn't that so!"
"I heard that the president once bathed in the moonlight and created the Moonlight Card. He bathed in the sunlight and created the Sunlight Card. He bathed in the stars and created the Stars Card! "
"I see."
The disciples were amazed.
This was the president, indeed!
This was amazing!
Lu Ming was speechless.
He was a little flustered.
It was true.
The disciples … seemed to be gradually deifying him …
On the surface, this was a good thing and they could gain short-term benefits. However, the downside was that once you were put on a pedestal, everyone would have higher expectations of you!
In his previous life.
There was such an enterprise.
In just half a year, it went from being admired by tens of thousands of people to being despised and mocked by tens of thousands of people …
→_→
Therefore …
Lu Ming was most afraid of being deified.
Well …
Although everyone praised him for his good looks, they were merely speaking the truth.
However …
Fortunately …
The limelight of the grand ceremony had gradually faded.
At this rate, the development and growth of the association would stabilize very soon and he, the president, would gradually disappear from the public's view.
However …
Lu Ming did not expect that …
Merely one day later, the Sword Card Master Association was trending again!
Furthermore —
It was number one!!!
…
"What's happening?"
Lu Ming switched on his communication device and was instantly dumbstruck.
This is …
Over there …
There was only a list in the trending topics. It was a very clean list. The last name on the list was the Sword Card Master Association.
"This is …"
Lu Ming's pupils constricted suddenly.
This list …
It turned out to be the legendary list of the top 100 associations in the world!
That was right!
The top 100 in the world!
When the glory of the grand ceremony faded …
Sword Card Master Association.
This was the first time that the association, which only had a headquarters in Tian Du City and no branches, appeared on the list of the top 100 associations in the world.
Yes.
It covered the entire world!
None of the associations on this list were easy to deal with!
For example —
The Shield Elementalist Association with 1,235 branches!
The Fire Elementalist Association with 8,688 branches!
Even the lowest!
It was also the Transvestite Association with 521 branches!
These associations …
They covered the entire world!
They were extremely powerful in terms of overall strength!
And now …
The Sword Card Master Association was on the global list of the top 100 associations that tested the overall strength of the associations!
Wow —
Everyone was shocked.
"Don't they only have one branch?!"
"That's right. How can a branch compete with a large association that has hundreds of branches?"
"Which association did they push down?"
"I think it's the Earth Elementalist Association …"
"Oh, it's the Earth Elementalist Association …"
"That's not right. No matter how weak the Earth Elementalist Association is, they have 500 branches! Why did the Sword Card Master Association push them down?! "
"Exactly!"
Everyone was puzzled.
This list …
Was there a problem?!
Although the Earth Elementalist Association had average combat abilities, they were closely related to buildings …
Cough.
The construction and demolition of cities were inseparable from the Earth Elementalist Association.
Therefore …
The Earth Elementalist Association was one of those associations that had a very stable development. It was neither too strong nor too weak. It had always been at the bottom of the top 100 list and had never been promoted.
And now …
They were done for!
They were pushed down by the Sword Card Master Association …
Why?
Although the Sword Card Master Association suddenly rose to prominence during the Glory Ceremony, they needed time to develop. This was a list of the top 100 associations, not a list of potential stars!
Regarding this …
Lu Ming and the group were also very puzzled.
It was true.
Although the Sword Card Master Association had been developing well recently …
However …
He knew about the list of the top 100 associations.
If he were to describe it in another way, using the words of his previous life … This was the top 500 in the world!
Well …
The top 100 in the world!
It was even more valuable than the top 500 in the world!
A civil construction group with 500 branches could not defeat a business newcomer. No matter how he looked at it, it did not make sense.
This was not a competition of hairline …
It was not a competition of appearance.
Although the Sword Card Master Association had a higher average appearance due to his existence, the list of the top 100 should be a competition of overall combat abilities …
"How did you do?"
Lu Ming asked Li Haoran.
Crap.
He knew that his disciples were amazing, but could they be that amazing?!
However …
It was a pity.
Li Haoran and the group also looked puzzled. "I-I don't know …"
"Let me ask."
Lu Ming's expression turned serious.
According to the original plan …
Although the glory of the Glory Ceremony was fierce, it would fade very quickly.
And now …
He felt as if he was being roasted on a grill.
It was true.
In some things, going too far was as bad as not going far enough.
That feeling …
It was very similar to when one was exhausted after a battle and his girlfriend threw a one yuan coin to play 'Daddy's Daddy is Grandpa' and continued to play with the rocking chair …
"I'm afraid there is a problem."
Lu Ming was deep in his thoughts.
Hence …
He contacted the dean.
"Dean.
"The list of the top 100 of the association …"
Lu Ming raised his doubts.
"I'm not sure."
The dean's expression was solemn. "The formulation of the list of the top 100 of the association is decided by the higher-ups. Even we are not sure …
"However …
"You have to be careful."
The dean reminded him. "This might not be a good thing."
"I know."
Lu Ming's expression was grave.
This matter …
There was indeed a problem!!!
"There are still five days left."
The dean looked at the time. "Within five days, try to remove your association's top 100 list … I will also think of a way for you."
"Five days?"
Lu Ming's heart skipped a beat.
"Yes."
The dean's tone was solemn. "I can't tell you the details now. But remember, you have to think of a way to remove your association from the top 100 list in the next few days!"
"Okay."
Lu Ming hung up the call.
He knew.
This was already the highest authority that the dean could divulge.
The top 100 list …
True enough, there was a problem!!!
Five days …
What would happen if he did not remove it by then?
He contacted the chief of operations and eight-star fist fighter. Not surprisingly, even they clearly told Lu Ming not to enter the top 100!
The list of the top 100 was an extremely special list!
This list …
It was beneficial for most of the associations.
Except for …
The Sword Card Master Association!
It would be very dangerous for the Sword Card Master Association which did not have any background!
Even more …
They could not say anything.
"Xiao-Xiaojian.
"Can you deduce it?"
Lu Ming looked at Xiao-Xiaojian.
"Let me try."
Xiao-Xiaojian also understood the seriousness of the matter. Therefore, it quickly began to deduce. However, in the endless deductions, there was only a stretch of nothingness …
"I can't see it."
Xiao-Xiaojian was very certain. "But … I can feel that … it is very dangerous!"
This was the first time that Xiao-Xiaojian looked so solemn.
Dangerous …
Very dangerous!!!
If they continued to be on the top 100 list …
The danger would increase!
"Will we be targeted?"
Lu Ming took a deep breath.
Or perhaps …
Brother Mao's enemy?
Because they appeared in public view, they could not be targeted?
No.
That should not be the case.
The dean and the rest were not aware of this.
Or perhaps …
Assassination by the beasts?
Humans had enemies. Lu Ming had seen the beasts under various banners. Therefore … could it be those groups?
Oo …
They mainly assassinated the most outstanding elites of humans.
It was right to look for them from the top 100 list. Therefore, the other associations were calm because they had people to protect them. As for the Sword Card Master Association which did not have any background …
Was it very dangerous?
Therefore …
In the eyes of ordinary people, the top 100 list was considered a supreme glory. However, when it appeared in front of the Sword Card Master Association which had been established for less than a year, it was a crisis!
This was Lu Ming's rough guess.
"Ask the rest."
Lu Ming's expression stirred slightly.
Their association had the Swordsman branch and the Sharpshooter branch.
However …
After asking, those people were all clueless …
"Is this only known by the headquarters?"
Lu Ming pondered deeply.
Therefore …
This group of people who were still working in the branches were not even qualified to enter the headquarters?
…
After a long time …
The Sword Card Master Association held a high-level meeting.
They analyzed the current situation and finally came to a conclusion — It might be due to the annexation of the various branches and businesses in Tian Du City, as well as Zhao Yunshan's large injection of funds!
Therefore …
In the eyes of those people …
The Sword Card Master Association was no longer a simple Sword Card Master Association!
It was the Sword Card Master Association, the Zhao Corporation, and all the branches and businesses in Tian Du City. In the end, they were qualified to be listed in the top 100 associations …
Oh.
They understood now.
Everyone looked toward Zhao Yunshan simultaneously.
"Uh."
Zhao Yunshan scratched his head, feeling somewhat ashamed. "I'm sorry, Master."
"It's okay."
Lu Ming sighed.
Zhao Yunshan had good intentions.
"In that case …
"Withdraw the funds first."
Lu Ming said in a low voice, "Separate the association's funds and personal funds. No matter how much is used during this period of time, you have to announce it clearly.
"The association will repay this sum of money."
Lu Ming said.
"Okay."
Zhao Yunshan nodded.
"Afterward …
"This will be our relationship."
Lu Ming paused for a moment.
Cough.
If they followed the normal procedures, they did not know when the news of the separation between the association and the Zhao family would spread. However, if there was a conflict …
Hence …
On the same day.
Lu Ming and Zhao Yunshan had a fight at the entrance.
Zhao Yunshan unleashed all sorts of powerful trump cards and moves but was eventually defeated by Lu Ming easily. It was said that the two of them fought over someone called Miss Tian …
"Is this okay?"
Miss Tian felt somewhat embarrassed.
"It's quite good."
Lu Ming was very certain. "First, to show the power of the Sword Card Master Association. Second, to turn you into a goddess that is revered by thousands of people. "
"But I only have the president in my heart."
Miss Tian said coquettishly.
"…"
Lu Ming rolled his eyes.
You'd better save your words for someone else.
→_→
Anyway.
He had a conflict with Zhao Yunshan and the Sword Card Master Association and the Zhao family split their funds. The Sword Card Master Association's recent limelight had died down …
Even the number of people applying to the Sword Card Master Association had decreased.
Well …
That was quite good.
Lu Ming felt very satisfied.
Firstly, there were too many people applying to the Sword Card Master Association recently and they needed to stabilize it.
Secondly, the disciples who had already joined the association were not affected. This was because these disciples could tell the relationship between Zhao Yunshan and Lu Ming …
They were putting on a show for outsiders!
Why?
This was because there were too many people …
Heh.
Those who joined the association in advance had made a killing!
Look at those outsiders. Those fools did not even have a chance to join the association!
…
At this moment.
The overall evaluation of the Sword Card Master Association had dropped significantly!
Even with the Flower Burial business and the various branches, they still could not compare with the top 100 associations in the world, especially the Earth Elemental Association!
However …
What was shocking was —
Even so …
The name of the Sword Card Master Association was still there on the association list!
It was still there on the second day.
It was still there on the third day.
It was still there on the fourth day.
…
"What's going on?"
Lu Ming realized the seriousness of the problem.
Without the Zhao family's funds, the evaluation of the Sword Card Master Association had dropped significantly on the various organizations! But why was it still on the top 100 list?
One had to know …
In terms of overall value, it was not even one-tenth of the Earth Elemental Association!
After all …
It was a huge association that had hundreds of branches, a headquarters and countless construction companies. How could the Sword Card Master Association compare with it?!
In the end …
The list of the top 100 associations in the world was finalized — The Sword Card Master Association was still in the 100th place!!!
…
At night.
The dean visited him personally.
"You guys are still on the list …"
The dean sighed.
"I don't know either."
Lu Ming smiled bitterly.
"…"
The dean cast a deep glance at Lu Ming. "Before I came, I received some news … I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse for you …"
"Oh?"
Lu Ming's expression changed slightly. "You know about it?"
"Yes."
The dean sighed. "You guys are listed on the top 100 list because a senior praised you — With such abilities, this association is worthy of being listed in the top 100 list. With this sentence, the Sword Card Master Association has been pushed to the top one hundred! "
"Senior …"
Lu Ming's expression changed.
The dean addressed him as a senior …
To say such words …
"Nine-star Sharpshooter!"
Lu Ming blurted out.
So far, this was the only nine-star that they had come into contact with!
"That's right."
The dean smiled bitterly.
Nine-star …
A legendary existence.
Since this person had spoken, it was useless for them to say anything else!
"Is a nine-star that petty?"
Lu Ming sighed.
"A nine-star is also human."
The dean shrugged.
One should not assume that the older seniors were sage-like and sage-like. Everyone progressed step by step. Some people might become more muddle-headed the longer they lived …
The older they were, the more pretentious they were.
→_→
Of course.
He had no intention of slandering the nine-star senior …
He was simply …
He was trying to reason with Lu Ming.
When his interests were in conflict with the nine-star and everyone thought that the nine-star was going to make a name for himself, he caused them to suffocate in the vat …
He did not even have a chance to appear.
Think about it.
It was good enough that they did not come to destroy him …
"Understood."
Lu Ming sighed.
He would take it as the price of being in the first place this year.
Right now …
His physical problem had been resolved and the association had become bigger. Overall, it would not be a problem for them to be listed in the top hundred in the world.
At most …
Cough.
At most, they would stay in Tian Du City and not go out.
Right then.
The dean walked to the window.
"Lu Ming.
"Come.
"Take a look at this world."
The dean said softly.
"…"
Lu Ming looked out of the window.
Aunt Zhang from the vegetable shop next door was picking cucumbers …
Tony from the barber shop opposite was promoting membership cards …
Chef Wang from the northwest was trying out the feasibility of hotpot jiamo … Chef Li from the northeast was trying out the recipe of durian stew …
At the end of the street, the Energy Warrior was promoting fitness cards …
Swordsman was promoting his manicure set …
There did not seem to be anything special about it.
"Take a look at this world. Isn't there anything to say?"
The dean lamented listlessly.
This child …
Why was he so insensitive?
"Uh —"
Lu Ming pondered for a moment.
world？”
"…"
The dean was between laughter and tears.
What was he talking about?!
"Look at it from a macro perspective …"
The dean reminded him.
"Macro …"
Lu Ming looked at it again.
Oo …
If one were to look at it from this angle, this world was truly bustling with people and flowers blooming like a piece of brocade … Everything that entered one's eyes was peaceful and happy.
"Why do you think the world is so peaceful?"
The dean suddenly asked.
"Uh —"
Lu Ming thought for a long time before he said cautiously, "Perhaps, it's because the content is against the rules?"
The dean was speechless.
…
